I present to you two flags: one with a smaller, centered image of Rudolf Rocker, and another where he appears a bit larger.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_R

A black and white portrait of Rudolf Rocker is centrally positioned within a circular frame on a diagonally-divided red and black background, symbolizing anarcho-syndicalist ideology.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image appears to be a close-up shot from a television drama, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the filming style and visual quality. The image features a person with curly dark hair against a black background, creating a dramatic portrait with strong contrast. Their expression appears serious or contemplative, with a hint of intensity in their gaze. The lighting technique is characteristic of sci-fi television productions from that era,…

The reason I’m so fixated on Rudolf Rocker is that he understood authority and centralized control as inherently oppressive structures that suppress individual freedom and the collective ability to self-organize.
He argued that true freedom arises not from legal or political institutions, which often serve to maintain domination, but from the voluntary, free association of people resisting all forms of coercion and hierarchy.
For Rocker, political rights are not granted by govern…

Supporting DEI is eminently appropriate for the position of director of the National Portrait Gallery. Who wants to see imagery only of white people [mostly male, mostly rich]?

I just made myself a new banner for myself, using (mostly) open source software.

For everything else, I used this tool from GitHub:

Diese habe dieser im Rahmen von 14 Gesprächen getätigt, die Sereda mit ihm führte – zum Teil bei "Round Tables", bei denen mehrere Journalist*innen mit einem Schauspieler zusammentreffen (und dieser oft nicht weiß, für welche Medien die eigentlich da sind).
Dass der Kurier dieses "Best Of"-Portrait just zu Eastwoods Geburtstag veröffentlicht und es ein "aktuelles Interview" nannte, habe Sereda nicht gewusst, sagt sie.
Der Kurier beendet trotzdem seine Zusammenarbeit mit ihr.

However, due to the limited exploration of global audio perception, current approaches predominantly employ auxiliary visual and spatial knowledge to stabilize the movements, which often results in the deterioration of the naturalness and temporal inconsistencies.Considering the essence of audio-driven animation, the audio signal…

The background is similarly blurred, maintaining focus on the individual. **Chinese Alt Text:** - 描述：另一张黑白照片，拍摄角度略有不同，但人物相同。这…

Sonic: Shifting Focus to Global Audio Perception in Portrait Animation
The study of talking face generation mainly explores the intricacies of synchronizing facial movements and crafting visually appealing, temporally-coherent animations. However, due to the limited exploration of global audio perception, current approaches predominantly employ auxiliary visual and spatial knowledge to stabilize the movements, which often results in the deterioration of the naturalness and temporal inconsistencies.Considering the essence of audio-driven animation, the audio signal…

#RudolfRocker

The image is a sepia-toned portrait of an older man. He is wearing a dark suit with a white shirt and a dark tie. The man has a full, white beard and mustache, and his hair is curly and graying. He is wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses. The background is a plain, dark color, which contrasts with the subject's lighter hair and beard. The man is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The photograph has a vintage quality, suggesting it was taken in the early 20th century.
